Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was convenient for my needs, but the noise from the nearby car park was a nuisance. The service was excellent, especially in catering for my dietary requirements. The dining experience had its ups and downs with limited breakfast options. The rooms were not up to standard in terms of cleanliness and distance from reception.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and lovely, and I appreciated the convenience of being able to order food directly to my room. However, there were some minor issues like the lack of hot water and unexpected extra pillowcases in the bathroom. The staff were all polite and friendly, although there was a small accident involving a child during my stay. The location was convenient for visiting family and shopping, being close to the motorway, but at times felt a bit crowded. The dining experience was decent with a good selection, but it ended a bit early for my liking. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel's location is convenient for visiting Portsmouth and its attractions, with easy access to major roads. The staff were friendly and helpful during our stay, but the room we were assigned had issues with the heating system and required climbing multiple flights of stairs. The dining experience was a bit chaotic, and improvements could be made in managing the breakfast rush.
The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. The rooms, although large and comfortable, were not as quiet due to their proximity to the outdoor eating area. On the upside, the rooms were perfectly clean and offered a comfortable stay. The service was a mix of helpfulness and delays due to staff multitasking between the bar and other duties. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions like Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight but lacked certain beer options. The dining experience had its flaws regarding cleanliness and staff issues, yet the food quality was enjoyable. The facilities were not extensively commented on.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were large and comfortable, but lacking storage space and in need of some maintenance. The service was generally helpful, but there were some lapses in attention. The location was convenient, though not without its disappointments. The dining experience was decent, but could have been better. Overall, the facilities offered were satisfactory, nothing extraordinary.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and very clean, equipped with a good size TV and tea and coffee making facilities. However, my room was the 3rd furthest from the entrance and exit, making it a long walk to the dog toilet. The hotel overlooked a charming enclosed courtyard, which would be delightful in the summer.
The hotel was quite mixed in terms of experience. The rooms were not the cleanest and were not ready, but the staff was friendly and welcoming. The location was convenient but a bit crowded. The dining options were limited, and the service was quick and hassle-free.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while spacious, seemed a bit worn out with some maintenance issues, but overall impressive. The service was friendly but could benefit from more training in customer service. The location had its charms but also showed signs of neglect. The dining options were limited but acceptable. Facilities were decent overall.
The hotel provides spacious and comfortable rooms adapted for disabled access. The rooms are very clean, quiet, and well-equipped with essentials like an ironing board, iron, hairdryer, and a nice selection of pillows. However, the dining experience can be a bit hectic during busy times. The service is friendly and accommodating, although they might be short-staffed in certain areas.
